My second CM Briefing for this month is on scoping an intranet release. To quote:

The most crucial release is often the initial ‘go-live’ of the intranet. This must demonstrate the value of the intranet, and build sufficient interest to ensure the site develops further and grows.

When developing intranet releases, however, intranet teams often find themselves very constrained by both time and resources.

The challenge then becomes delivering sufficient content and capabilities to meet business and user expectations, within the project constraints. This briefing introduces a simple approach to scoping a release that takes all of these factors into account.
